I f Obama does not want to be labeled the black candidate then why does he persist in speaking to his black voters using black vernacular and cadence and referring to being ‘ bamboozled, hoodwinked and okey doke’ but never uses these phrases speking to his white voters as if the aforemnetioned phrases can only be understood by black voters…..he chose to use two different languages while Hillary uses the same way of speaking regardless who her audience is….also he can never be pinned down by owning anything he says…he is constantly whining that he did not say that ..or that is not what I meant….well…what the heck did he say and what the heck did he mean??? He is really turning into a big crybaby….maybe he will just run and hide behind oprah so she can go out and beat up the ‘Girl” that is picking on him….grow up…the republicans are going to say a lot worse things and Momma Oprah won’t be there to defend you

Senator Clinton is trying to come across as a candidate for change, however, her character shows through her fake smile. Obama is genuine and believes in people rights and concerns for this nation come first. He gives a sense that he will work WITH and FOR the American people, whereas Hillary will work FOR whats best and work WITH Washington to protect what SHE feels are our best interests. She has forgoten that she is not entitled to anything. It is up to the people to elect her, but she will lie cheat and steal as much as she can to get to the top. I dont hate her, Im scared of her.

I thought all the candidates did a great job.

My favorite line was Clinton’s:
“Bush is over in the Arab world right now begging them to lower gas prices. Pathetic!”
My entire living room gave her a standing ovation (and we all support different candidates).

rd, just fyi, before you get your panties in a twist —
It was an official “Black/Brown Debate” meaning it was hosted by a coalition of various groups who deal with issues that impact people of color.

The “Black/Brown Debates” are the ones that the Republican candidates infamously refuse to participate in.

Hillary’s pandering “begging” for the black vote during the debate was “pathetic”….

What about the point on Obama voting for the energy bill that would result in the building of several new nuclear power plants. Obama said that when he is president, he’ll put together a study group to figure out the best way to deal with all the nuclear waste. Why would he vote for a bill approving the construction of nuclear power plants when he doesn’t have a clear idea of what to even do with the waste? That seems to me one of the most glaring judgment issues one could raise.

Here is my Economic Stimulus Plan:

Have the Credit Card companies analyze every one of their open accounts.

All accounts that have taken in more money than the consumer/account holder has spent using the credit card should be designated PAID-IN-FULL and closed.

Some portion (let’s say 50%) of all excessive interest, finance and service charges would also be credited toward outstanding account balances, to compensate the consumer for the gouging that they have endured.

Everyone will be better off without this debt burden, and our country will be much better off if the Government would put a stop to the plundering of the Credit Card “industry”.

An almost interesting read but the grammar was dreadful. A bit of editing is encouraged.

“music to the hears of slightly wavering Clinton”
“underscores his long-standing opposition to the Iraq, ” — the Iraq war? occupation?
“Clinton agrees but, unlike, Edwards points out the bill never became law” — So Edwards unlike Clinton points out ….?
“Edwards says he’s the only one to eliminate combat missions and eliminate any prospect of permanent military bases, calling the differences between himself and Obama and Clinton.” — calling the differences between himself, Obama and Clinton what?
Kids writing blogs disappoint me on a regular basis. My assumption here is that you are a professional writer, please endeavor to write professionally.

I feel that Senator Clinton did a good job in the Debate. She always make it a point she come across clearly when she answer things especially when she explain her Economic Stimulus that she is planning. I just hope and pray that she will be Our Next President of the United State of America. When she talks its always with substance. She has brain and very qualified to be the President and you could sense that she is READY TO LEAD A COUNTRY IN DAY ONE. You could feel her Passion to Serve the Country. When she will become a President you could feel confident and secure that the right person is running Our Country and can go to sleep peacefully. Go Hillary ! God Bless You! God Bless America!

The writing in this article is some of the worst I’ve ever seen in journalism – missing verbs, wild changes in tense, choppy sentences with few conjunctions. It’s actually pretty hard to read.

I felt that all candidates were similar on the issues; Obama seems clearest to understand though. The real distinction is in their character. Edwards is commited, almost to the point of obsession. Clinton would rule from day 1 from the oval office. Obama is natural leader that will lead the Citizens as a force to overcome any special interests in Congress. Also seemed Obama’s campaign contributions are the cleanest. I think we need a President like him to lead us forward.
